This volume compiles film stills from two works for which Sussman and her collaborators are most known. \"89 Seconds at Alcázar\" (2004) is a high-definition video tableau inspired by Diego Velázquez's painting \"Las Meninas\" (1656). The piece focuses on the 89 seconds when the Spanish royal family and their courtiers would have been in the exact configuration portrayed in the painting. \u003ci\u003eThe Rape of the Sabine Women\u003c\/i\u003e--featuring a mesmerizing score composed by Jonathan Bepler--is an allegorical video that conflates the myth of Romulus' founding of Rome with David's painting \"Intervention of the Sabine Women\" (1796-99). It is set in an idealized, cinematic version of the 1960s that includes G-men and a decadent party in a chic International Style summer home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eve Sussman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8791607620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788791607622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Louisiana Museum of Modern Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.40h x 8.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Eve Sussman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440413815039,"sku":"9788791607622","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ddd00cd1-6eb3-4e29-9e31-6a0c1f482462.jpg?v=1777182287","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eve-sussman-the-rufus-eve-sussman-9788791607622","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
